Tue, 10 Oct 2017 03:01:15 +0000http://myalternateuniv.wordpress.com/?p=407#comment-357Thank you, Joey!! “Happy” really is the happiest song AND happiest video! My son loves all the people dancing. (He also loves Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off” video, but that’s a story for another post, lol!)
I agree with you – there is something about flash mobs. I can sense it, too, when I watch them. In fact, when I was writing this post, I kept thinking of “humanity” and “connection”…starting with a single person and gradually building to something beautifully powerful. My son has gotten interested in a few other flash mob videos, as well as “Playing for Change” videos that join together voices and instruments from around the world. (That’s the subject of my next post.) You should check them out!!

I am a lover of flash mobs, always have been. Last month a blogger shared maybe 15 of them in a playlist, and since then, it’s been a highlight to watch one early in the day. I don’t know that we can understand how everyone else processes things, but for me, they’re filled with hope and joy and connection — maybe he can feel that.
And well, Happy is truly the happiest song ever, is it not?

Sat, 07 Oct 2017 02:20:04 +0000http://myalternateuniv.wordpress.com/?p=407#comment-353Thank you so much, Kate. I think it’s wonderful that your daughter is working with children with special needs like severe autism and their families. Not everyone can do what she’s doing, and we need more people like her!!
I’m hanging in there – We’re trying some new things that seem promising, and I’m excited to explore his love of music. I’ll probably write more posts about his video choices, which continue to inspire me. He’s a pretty amazing little boy!! 🙂
Miss you, Kate! Let’s plan for coffee again soon!

It is a gift to everyone struggling with so many of these issues and to the rest of the universe too. Everyone needs to better understand everyone else and you are helping to do just that.

Sent from my iPad]]>Jen,

I’ve been thinking of you often, very often. And your new post was especially timely. My daughter is an OT working with students with severe autism. (K-5, and some medically fragile at home) She spends a great deal of time on weekends and evenings talking to parents. I sent this to her to help her understand how parents really feel although they rarely tell her. Your writing has a far reaching impact. I wanted you to know and to thank you for sharing as only you can.

I hope you are doing okay. And I love the photo you closed your essay with.

❤️ Kate
